      Recently upgraded RetroPie to the latest version on my RaspberryPi and now any console screen for Setting Audio, Showing the IP Address, or booting a video game has weird character borders. I think the borders used to be asterisks but now they are the letter 'q'. Any ideas on what I can inspect?!
